His vignettes and essays will open your heart and mind to the fullness of everyday life, complete with every day’s moments of exhilaration and tragedy. The reviews are in: Joy Loverde, author of “The Complete Eldercare Planner” (published by Random House), said, “This book is profound. You made me laugh. You made me cry. I am humbled to be your forever friend in this life.” And according to Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Michael Vitez, “Martin Bayne has what most writers lack: passion. When he writes, the keyboard is on fire.”
